    Actually, having carriers available to each race is fairly new. For a long time, carriers were exclusive to the KDF. And there was much wailing an gnashing of teeth when that first changed, since some people felt it was the only reason to play a KDF character at all.

    At the moment, I don't know if they've hinted if Romulans will be getting a "proper" carrier, or a three piece VA ship to match up with the Odyssey or Bortas. Which would likely mean that it'll be a month or three before either shows up. Since it wasn't in at launch, it's likely that the devs responsible for building new ships were busy with the existing Romulan ships, and the new NPC ships that were added. (Such as the Elachi.)

    "Normally" each race gets a carrier? It took a very long time for the Federation to get a carrier in this game, and that was only after intense pleading from jealous Federation players. No doubt the Romulans will get a carrier, but the devs have to come up with something suitable to Star Trek lore that meets the approval of the CBS overlords.

    I certainly don't mind seeing at least one carrier for each race, but if the Romulans never got one, I also wouldn't mind. I don't have a Federation carrier, because I don't buy ships with Zen.

    Well if you do rush off to a Jem Carrier, you wont be making a bad choice.

    The Romulans have only just been added. The Romulan equivilent to the Bortasqu and Odyssey class ships is on its way. Probably a Scimitar.

    A Timeship is also on its way I believe.

    What I find strange is that the Klingons in the broadcasts and movies, never had a carrier that i know of. The Federation had the Akira with its fly through carrier deck ( which was destroyed at Wolf 359 ). Yet, the klingons in the game were the first to get a carrier.. The Only ship the Romulans have ever had capable of carrying fighters, was the Scimitar, But its between 3 - 4 times larger than a sovereign.. Personally i think it would be momentary fun to dwarf a Vo'Quv, but i just dont see that happening and I will believe that Romulans get a carrier, when i see it..

    The scimitar is already on tribble for some lucky people (devs at least). The pets are also on tribble, and it was announced some time ago it will come as a 3 ships bundle on the C store.
    Also, I've read the wings are fully animated.
